Kevin Knight joined the IBR faculty in 1991 and has conducted several longitudinal evaluations for treatment of probation and prison populations (including the BOP, RSAT, and TCU Drug Screen Projects). His work with criminal justice agencies and data systems at national and regional levels includes the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He is currently Principal Investigator for the CJ-DATS Project, a NIDA-funded cooperative agreement involving nine national research centers. He serves on journal editorial boards, including serving as co-editor of Offender Substance Abuse Report, and participates in advisory activities for a variety of organizations that address substance abuse and related policy issues. His primary research interests include assessment strategies, applications of cognitive enhancements to drug abuse counseling and education, and the study of treatment and organizational processes in criminal justice settings.
